I was walking through the schoolyard with a couple friends as we saw children walking across the lawn with their arms linked. There must of been a continuous chain of at least a hundred or so elementary kids. I suggested to the person next to me that perhaps it was their first day of class. “I don’t think so”, he replied. I looked at my watch to see that it was November 1st, Wednesday. I kept silent but still held on to the notion that it was their first day.
